We detail a comprehensive approach to preparing epiwafers for bipolar SiC power devices which entails etching the substrate, growing a semi-sacrificial basal plane dislocation (BPD) conversion epilayer, polishing away a portion of that conversion epilayer to recover a smooth surface and then growing the device epilayers following specific methods to prevent the reintroduction of BPDs. With our best processing, we achieve a BPD density of < 10 cm-2 and an extended defect density of < 1.5 cm-2. Specifics of low BPD processing and particular concerns and metrics will be discussed in regard to process optimization and simplification.
